10 of The Coolest Looking Exotic Pets

1. Red-Eyed Tree Frog

The Bright red eyes and beautiful colors make this one of the most popular frog pets. They are relatively easy to keep, require good ventilation and high humidity. They are found wild in the tropical rainforests of Central America and can grow up to three inches.


2. Fire Salamander

The strong contrast between the black / brown and the yellow make these look both dangerous and beautiful. They can be found wild in central and southern Europe. They require no special heating as room temperature is often enough, all they need is a high humidity and an escape proof enclosure.


3. Camel Spider

These are another extremely scary looking species. They are found in the desert plains in Egypt and are a burrowing species. These spiders are very, very, very aggressive so experience with tarantulas and scorpions is a must. They can eat through mesh and climb glass and run at nearly 10 miles per hour, which make them very hard to keep.

The bright blue bodies make these a unique species to own. They look amazing and are fairly unagressive. They can grow to around 5cm.
